I have used adaptogens in my protocol all along. My Lyme literate doctor finds them to be an important addition. Some I can feel the benefits very quickly. They are definitely worth investigating and speaking to your doctor about adding them into your protocol. See our MUSHROOMS post at bottom too.

"Each adaptogen has a different effect on the body, so the choice of which one to take will depend on the result you seek. For example, if you’re both frazzled and fried, ashwagandha might be the ticket to both energize and relax you."
"Adaptogens are plants and mushrooms that help your body respond to stress, anxiety, fatigue and overall wellbeing. You can take adaptogens by adding them to food or beverages or take them as tinctures. Adaptogens bring your body back to a steady balance by managing both physical and mental stressors."
"Researchers say adaptogenic herbs interact with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is a complex system of glands, hormones and receptors in the human body. The HPA axis is central to the body’s homeostasis, stress responses and energy metabolism."
"And a scientific review that examined previous adaptogen studies (specifically involving Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, and Bacopa) suggested that these herbs could potentially benefit people during periods of chronic stress."
"Recent pharmacological studies of some adaptogens give a rationale to their effects at the molecular level."
